Hello and Happy Fall, Priddis!

The Priddis Community Association, and its sub committees, have been working incredibly hard to continue to offer the amenities and events that our community members love. We are also pleased to be able to offer some new options. Our event calendar is pretty packed over the next few months so have a read below to see what is happening in your community:

● Looking to boost your business? Want to support your community? We are pleased to be offering advertising opportunities at our community rink. 30”x48” advertising spaces are available on a one year term. Professional printing and installation services are included. Advertisements, contracts and payments are due October 25 for early November installation. Please email our Executive Director if you would like to learn more about this exciting opportunity. Priddisalberta@gmail.com

This is a free event for community members and we are offering a dinner option (pizza, drink and treat) for $5. If you can spare a bit of time to help out with this fun event please contact priddisalberta@gmail.com

● We are excited to announce that yoga is back by popular demand for a second session. This time we will be offering 8 classes in November and December. The cost of this registered program is $140. Classes will run most Mondays and Thursdays from 7:30-8:30pm. Dates as follows:
